Now we have several types of noodles. Such as lamb noodle, chicken noodle, kidney noodle and vegetable noodle.

For the noodle our saying is as thin as like a hair. Another one is vinegar and chili makes it tastier

Noodle is long stretched by cooks with special techniques.

On top of the noodle we put several types of fried vegetables together with different meats mentioned above.

On his journey through Silk Road Marco polo copied making noodles from xinjiang.

Saying is from our ancestors.

The noodles are pliable and tough, smooth and delicious. The noodle dough is pulled in a special way to create thinner and thinner strings of dough, and finally, noodles! Then the noodles are boiled quickly and various ingredients are added, including oil, mutton pieces, cooked tomato and chili peppers. Sometimes the noodles are stir-fried along with these ingredients, which can only be described as a totally different, yet equally delicious taste.
